Oh, my!  I really have blown it...

I apologize profusely for posting our surplus.txt file to the list.  I did
post a short message about the text file, and asked interested parties to
ftp it from our site.  I also sent complete copies of the text file to
those who had already shown interest.  What I didn't check carefully was
that some of those people had the list address as their return address.
Although I seem to stumble over the commercial line now and then, even I
wouldn't expect everyone to accept a multi-page posting such as that.

When I came in Sunday morning and found several "duplicate" messages
returned by the listserver, I knew I'd done something wrong.  And I had
just learned how to make a multiple-recipient nickname - Darn!.

One member felt that we were two-faced, first offering the tools free to
educators, then deciding to hold off until April 1st to have a "sale."
Actually, the sale idea was instituted before the give-away idea, as some
will see in ads next month.  We do have money tied up in these tools, and
we must recoup what we can.  However, the interest from schools has been
much stronger than paying customers.  In the end, I think most of the
inventory (70%-80%) will indeed go to schools and other non-profit
entities.

I'll expect some flaming  :(...
